Fiery Debate.

on the pcRsion bill created considerable excitement in the House. The gallery Of the Honse and all of the vacant seat. elsewhere were croweded; Bragg, oGWis- consin, announced with grand flourish that the men who advocated this bill, were not the friends of the true soldier. They advocated this bill, many of them, simply because the men could vote they expected 10 buy.
 Mir. Henderson, of 1owa-For one I pronounce Ahat false Applause on the republican side and the galleries.l
 Mir. Bragg-I say that this is the sub- stratum upon which all this action is based. If these men whom they call paupers were 10 call on them and ask them individually for aid, they would say to them: "You good ,for-nothing sccun- drels' you are as competent to work as we are" Laughter and applause on the republican side.1 The imputation IS passed upon them by the passage of the pauper pension bill. This bill, would grant pensions to men who served from December, 1864. to June, 1865. Who N ere these men? They were the scum of lhe earth, They were the scum, aye, and dress. They stayed at home until they were bought--bought by men who speculated in blood, paid from SToo to $500, with private assurance that they were physically so defective that all they had to do was to go to the hospital and not cndanger their precious carcasses Gentlemen, talked about soldiers being in almshouies! The men who were found there, were the men who had came f,on them and who, when they had lief. the army had lapsed into their old con. dition. No true, brave soldier need ever 90 to the poorhouse. Men whs went there, were natives there. They had no self-respccl, no character. They lay down and opened their mouths fer tea, to suck.
 NJ, Steele, of Indiana. nterected a remark
 MT. Bragg said that he knew that the gentleman who had interrupted him, if he dared to vote according to his con. science, would vote as he (Mr. Bragg) did. He knew gentlemen who had com. mitted themselves day after day in op. position to the principle ofthe bill, and were grateful for the veto. (Cries of who are theyO I know what am talking about. have heard them. Repeated cries of f"Name them, name your men. You can't do itD
 The republican congressmen-all of them! was MT. Bragg's reply, which was
  greeted with mingled applause, laughter and jeers. The spectators who filled the | galleries to their utmost capacity, and who listened eagerly to all that was said l on the floor, now took part in demonstra- tions of disapproval, and approval, and though without adding to the noise and confusion sufficiently to justify the Speaker in ordering clearing of the gal eries, gave vent to their feelings until he close of the debate by frequent ap. 2lause.
 Mir. Bragg declared that the press of he country was opposed to the bill. Those gentlemen who sat up aloft (point- ng to the press gallery) might some time 'r other turn this big pension boom into much larger boomerang in some gen. leman's district. [Applause.l

 We are not finding any fault with the Legislature for obolishing the County courty, but we do right here enter our protes, against the proposition which is gaining ground in this Territory, and that is the depriving of men wLo were regularly elected to offices created by law, of the emoluments of their offices. Vhere must be halt called somewhere On this point, as great an unjust hard ships areperpetratcd upon innocent men.
 Under the present state of affairs it is dangerous to be candidate upon any ticket, for there are no positions, with a very few exception, which ere not at the mercy of the Legislature. It is unjust and dishonest for a Legislature to de- prive man of the emoluments of an sRce to which the people have elected him, and further it leaves the men who are occupying our different offices, com Pletely at the mercy Of the parry in power. Say for instance that Cochise county should in ths next general cleo. ton elect her entire Republican ticker, and the Territorial Legislature should be of the opposite failh, what is there to prevent them from abolishing the office of sheriff and re-enacting a law calling the executive officer of the county a marshal or any other name which might suggest itself, and allow the Governor to make the appointments, what assurance have we that Republican would re- ceive the position from his hands, what could be done with the sheriff's office would equally apply to all other county offices. Now, what we would like to see, h law forbidding any change in an ohcc durieg the term for which man is elected, abolish the office if necessary.
 but do not let it take effect until after the expiration of the term. This is just and fair to all. We have a case in point h this county in the person of our county clerk, he with some fifty other candidates went before the people for thsir votes, and now, after a stormy and successful election, he is deprived ofhis shce and its emoluments. He was per. nitted to draw two months salary from an office to which he was elected for two years. We say that the principle h that of highwayman, and will not be tolerated by an intelligent and an hsnest public.

A sol dier prefers to stand by his record and asks not that congress shall mark him as a beggsr. He wants it understood that he is in private life, as he was in the army, soldier fighting for the main- tainance of the Union, loving his coun. try and not asking to be supported by it. Why look at the effcte confederate sol diers without hope toilng day by day and exhibiting thrif;, industry and ener- gy never expected by them, while the northern man, independent, seIf-reliant, industrious, energetic and enierprising, lags behind into idleness. Why? Be- cause he is waiting for his stipend to come from thcgOycrnment, and when that stipend comes it is spent quickly, and if he comes from the poor house he lapses back into that position and waits for another stipend. Humanity only needs | to be encouraged to do nothing. We | are liable to drop into th> do nothing policy for us 10 lcgislatc to encourage vagabendism, whether among our sok | diers or ci'izens.
